Blair and the Economy

Guardian: Reports the following on the Blair interview, " accepted some responsibility for the state of Britain's economy...".

Lets Get Real:

The Conservatives in the Coalition Government should keep this statement in the draw for 2015, not over use it NOW, this is an excellent statement to run in a political advert or in paper adverts. The new Labour regime must be hopping that the Iraq Inquiry does not cause further problems for Blair and the Labour Party. It can be argued up to a point that Blair is a bit of lose cannon, he wants back in to UK politics, the problem is that the Labour Party on the whole doe not want him back, the UK electorate might be more forgiving but only up to a point, if Iraq report is bad and this admission could shut Blair out of UK politics. Being honest might be good for the soul but its not politics.

Economic Collapse Labour's Fault - Blair

Telegraph: Reports that former Labour PM Tony Blair has stated in an interview that the Labour Party has some responsibility for the present economic woes faced by the UK.

Lets Get Real:

This will not go down well with the present Labour Leader Ed Miliband, as at the time he worked for the then Chancellor, Gordon Brown. The Brown Camp will see this another attack on their man, the endless feud between the two. While the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats will love the comment, at least to be fair to Mr Blair he put his hand up to mistakes, this blog is still waiting to hear the Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls state that he has any flaws to explain for the period. The Labour Party to this day has not said SORRY for its failures under Blair and Brown, they will only win in 2015 when they accept that they failed with the economy, thus the present economic recession faced by the UK, the Labour Party spent when there was no more money in the bank, but this is not new, when the waters get tough the Labour Party are nowhere to be found, thus the National Government of the 1930s.

Syrian Update - Syrian Crisis

BBC News: Reports on ongoing fighting in the Syrian Cities Damascus and Aleppo.

Lets Get Real:

The Assad Regime has an effective Army, supplied with the latest military equipment from Russian and Iran, they Regimes knows and its followers know they are not just fighting to keep power, this is about not being hung from the nearest yard arm if they lose, thus they are not going to give up without a fight. Also what ever Russia says it will arm the Assad Regime, it has nothing to lose, if the Assad Regime falls it loses its only warm water port, the rebels if they win are not going to be impressed that Russia at the UN blocked any tough resolutions on Syria. The Tehran Regime needs the Assad Regime in place, it allows it to link to its terrorist groups in Lebanon. If Assad falls the Tehran Regime will see itself under threat, thus Tehran has nothing to lose, also if the World is divert by Syria then Iran can develop the bomb. Thus folks this could be a long and bloody civil war, in less the rebels have another ace under their hats.
